@yousefq8i Hi! We recommend you don't smoke for the following 21 days after your surgery. Smoking alters the healing process which is something you would want to avoid. I hope this helps with your question.
@RQ8Y You can start walking on a treadmill 7 days out but only for 10-15 minutes. It's not until you are 30 days out where you can pretty much do any exercise you like.
I honestly cant wait to have this procedure done. I am as poor as a single mom of 3 can be, but am saving saving saving and will be going for this hopefully by March of 2012. I am so ready to start my new life and work towards a new healthier happier me...!!!
i'm having surgery in 18 days, i'm scared. i'm not scared of the pain, i'm scared it won't work on me as well as i hope it will. i'm scared that after the surgery i'll lose a little weight and just gain again. let's just hope for the best..
Awesome video Dr A! Only one problem... I am not in the pictures....! Hope I can be in the next one!!! Lost 85 lbs in 6 months... VSG changed my life. Thanks Dr Alvarez.
cool video Dr. Alvarez! I had my sleeve on Feb. 24th here in Germany (Hamburg)... I have lost about 70lbs in the past 5 months... I am hoping to be at goal by April (my b-day) of 2011... but I really have to work hard if I'm going to get there. Thank you for sharing your patient testimonials. :-)
@IamKris411 You are more than welcome! As like you I like to spread the word out and let people know that they don't need to suffer anymore and show how great this procedure is. Congratulation on your WL so far! Keep up the good work!

Surgery is about 1/3 the price of what you get charged in the U.S. and we also offer financing for patients. Hope we can be of assistance one day!
